Just spotted this posting about an hour and a half ago. Made the deal by email, and drove up to Milpitas and back to pick it up in the mean time. Set is in nice shape overall, and price was very reasonable.
The seller mentioned that it had been in his family since 1948, and that he remembers watching it as a kid. He said it was still working up until the DTV changeover. Having heard that, I powered it up, but just got AC hum and no raster, so I'm not entirely convinced it was still working last year. No problem, though, as restoration is more fun if there is a little challenge...
Thanks for posting this here. I am not in the habit of reading CL.
